Curb Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld creator Larry David was a guest on The Rich Eisen Show and shared his thoughts about March Madness.
During the segment, David immediately wondered how he was supposed to follow all of the sports and didn’t understand how he was expected to know who was on all these college basketball rosters.
Exacerbated, he admitted that he knows absolutely nothing and that he might have time to watch the semifinals. But otherwise when it comes to sports, he is busy watching the Rangers in the NHL and the Knicks in the NBA.
“I can’t follow all of these teams!” he exclaimed. “How do people do it? How do they do it? Who are they married to?”

David, who said he has maybe filled out one bracket in his life and it was for an office pool, isn’t exactly an NCAA expert.
So that probably explains why he didn’t know that Long Beach State head coach Dan Monson was fired and then allowed to continue to coach during March Madness.
During a recent press conference, Monson said that he felt like he was basically living in the Seinfeld episode where George Costanza quit his job (based on an experience David actually had):
“In real life, I quit SNL … I quit right before the show, came back on Monday morning and pretended it never happened.”
David saw the parallels between himself, Costanza, and Monson.

But first, he wanted to confirm that Long Beach State was actually a college. He was then briefly confounded about how many people play sports.
“There are so many of them. How could there be so many athletes? How can so many people play these games? Look at all these colleges and high schools! They all have teams! Let’s go to the colleges. There are really good people playing on these teams. How could there be so many great players?”
He then challenged Eisen, a professional sports media personality, to name “any” college players.
Never change, Larry David.
